We have been given that Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length. Wally is 68 inches tall, casts a shadow that is 41 inches in length.
We will use proportions to solve for the height of the statue because proportions state that ratio between two proportional quantities is same.
Upon substituting our given values in above equation, we will get:
Therefore, the height of the statue is 272 inches.
Answer:
The output of the function y = -6x + 8 when the input is x = 20 is -112.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -6x + 8
Input the value x = 20.
y = -6(20) + 8
Multiply -6 and 20.
y = -120 + 8
Add -120 and 8.
y = -112.
The correct answer is C (7, 9)
Firstly we know that each point is 6 away from the other in terms of x and in terms of y. Now we also know that for every 6, we will be one away from point B and five away from point A. We know this because the ratio is AB 5:1, meaning that the 5 is on the A side (they both come first).
So, we can just add 5 to each of the A value numbers to get point P.
A = (2, 4)
P = (2+5, 4+5)
P = (7, 9)
To solve this system by substitution, we must substitute in the value we are given for x in terms of y (the first equation) into the second equation. This is modeled below:
x = -8y - 15
2x + 5y = -8
2 (-8y - 15) + 5y = -8
Now, we should solve this new equation for y. To begin, we should use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses on the left side of the equation and begin the simplification process.
-16y - 30 + 5y = -8
Next, we can combine like terms on the left side of the equation by adding together the two terms that both contain the variable y.
-11y - 30 = -8
Next, we should add 30 to both sides in order to move all of the constant (number) terms to the left side of the equation.
-11y = 22
After that, we should divide both sides of the equation by -11 in order to get the variable y alone.
y = -2
Now, we can substitute our value for y back into one of our original equations (it doesn't matter which one you choose; they will yield the same answer).
x = -8y - 15
x = -8(-2) - 15
To simplify, we should following the order of operations outlined by PEMDAS and compute the multiplication and then the subtraction.
x = 16 - 15
x = 1
Therefore, the answer to the system is x = 1 and y = -2, or (1,-2) when written as an ordered pair.
Hope this helps!
